Follow Give Me The Rock
Usually we start with the Line of the Night, but on this particular night, I feel like doing things a little different. No reason, really. Just feel like changing things up.
The Biggest Loser: Devean George (1.03) played 33 minutes for the Dallas Mavericks, and scored 0 points on 0-11 from the field and 0-2 from the line. He did get 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal, which was all of good enough to get him LAST PLACE. Out of the 281 players who played in an NBA game last night, Devean George had the statistically worst fantasy performance of all of them. 0 for 11. He must have been nervous, or maybe his mind was elsewhere. Things like that happen sometimes to players. Not usually to SUPER AWESOME players like Devean George, but you know, everyone has an off night some time.
Okay, let’s get back to the normal stuff now…
Line of the Night: Manu Ginobli (6.43) threw up the middle finger to JR Smith’s 8 three pointers by not only making 8 threes, but scoring 46 points with 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and a block. Slow down Manu, you’re killin’em!
Honorable Mentions: It’s a steep drop from 6.43 to second place with Carlos Boozer at 4.47, but Boozer did have a 22/11/10 triple-double with 5 steals to boot. Jose Calderon (4.35) had 22/1/12 with 3 threes on 9/12 shooting. The Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki (4.33) had to pick up the slack for Devean George, and did so admirably, leading his team to a win over Portland by scoring 37 points (13/26 and 9/10), grabbing 12 rebounds, and blocking 2 shots.
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: I’m tempted to go with Darrell Armstrong of the New Jersey Nets. But seriously folks. Antonio Daniels (3.45) played 46 minutes against the Clippers and got 9/8/7 with 4 steals. Daniels was available in the GMTR Readers League, so I’m assuming he’s probably available in shallower (and/or less competitive) leagues.
Others to consider: Earl Watson had 14 assists; Amir Johnson had 7 blocks; Brian Cook had 18 points including 4 threes.
